I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

Mozilla Foundation did a deep dive into this. And the results where abysmal. The only brands not completely horrifying where Renault/Dacia because they are European and only serve the European market so they have to follow GDPR.

Wait, Renault doesn't ship anything outside the EU?

It does, to India.

They used to but stopped AFAIK. I am not completely sure but that's what I read when the Mozilla Foundation report came out. The other reply said to India so maybe my information is not completely accurate...
